Fifth Generation Computers
... be working to hard. Around 2-3 years ago, the Pentium came out, paving the way for new and faster computers. Intel was the most proficient in this area and came out with a range of processors from 66 MHz-166 Mhz. These processors are also now starting to become obsolete. Todays computers come equipped with 400-600 Mhz processors that can multi-task at an alarming rate. Intel has just started the release phase of it’s new Pentium III-800MHz processor. Glenn Henry is

telephone call. The receiving person puts his telephone receiver on the
cradle of his TDD machine and both parties begin communicating. While

to find work, which caused the population to increase. Developers built multi
story building(apartments), and row houses making streets less crowded, and gave

transport goods, the cotton gin made it easier to clean cotton, and made more
money. Then technical schools began to develop, helping young people finish
grammar school. Women also started working, they were very obedient and men

your main concern is people finding out things that you don't want them to.

Computer Security
... Can we make sure that the information in the computer is safe and nobody can steal it from the memory of the computer?
Physical hazard is one of the causes of destroying the data in the computer. For example, send a flood of coffee toward a personal computer. The hard disk of the computer could be endangered by the flood of coffee. Besides, human caretaker of computer system can cause as much as harm as any physical hazard.

The computer that is credited with making the first complete digital operation is Howard Aiken’s Harvard Mark I (created in 1937), which was made up of 78 adding machines and calculators.
Although Howard’s model was automatic, it was controlled by instructions punched into a roll of paper tape. There was a need for an all-electronic machine.
This project was taken up by Dr. J. Presper Eckert Jr., and Dr. John W. Mauchly, with help from a few of their colleagues, in the spring of 1946. For two and a half years, they work diligently to construct a machine called the Electronic Numerical Integ ...
